Kagura Tsuchimiya (土宮 神楽 Tsuchimiya Kagura) is the main protagonist in Ga-Rei Zero and the deuteragonist in Ga-Rei. She is feisty and ambitious and can put up a good fight with her spiritual beast, the Ga-Rei Byakuei (nicknamed Shirō), an inugami who resembles a large white dragon. She controls him from the seal on her back and a long binding chain that is connected to her and, so any pain that Byakuei feels affects her as well. She is stronger and motivated because of the support that Kensuke Nimura gives her. She obviously has feelings for Kensuke as she gets jealous when Shizuru and Kensuke are spotted alone together and she's shocked when Kyouko tells her that she should go out with Kensuke if she's worried about him. She calls him Ken-chan. Although she initially treats Shizuru Imawano as a rival, they become close. She lost her memories after temporarily becoming the host for the Kyuubi (in which Kensuke freed her from). Eventually she regains her memories and triggers the return of Yomi Isayama.
Appearance[]
In the anime Kagura has silky short brown hair with blue eyes and she is always seen wearing her school uniform. In the manga Kagura has blue eyes and her hair seems to have grown a bit. It hasn't been confirmed, but thought her blood type is B as suspected in a special 'Behind the scenes' of Ga Rei Zero.
Background[]
The anime shows a younger Kagura. Originally a shy, dutiful and sad young girl. Her meeting with Yomi after her mother's death changed her life. She came to love Yomi, who treated her like a sister, and was under great emotional stress when she found out that Yomi had turned against the Agency and all of humanity. In the anime Kagura killed Yomi since she didn't have any other choice left.
Powers & Weapons[]
(In the anime), Kagura receives Byakuei from her father prior to his death, and the Michael 12 and 13. The Michael 13, a typical katana with a trigger on the hilt instead of the sheath. The hilt acts as an ammo clip and upon pulling the trigger fires three heavy recoil shots from the end, increasing strength and speed of the slash. A secondary setting fires one shot at a time but at a continuously steady pace to create a 360 degrees slash to decimate surrounding opponents. At every three shots, a shell is ejected from the hilt therefore, the sword must be " reloaded" every now and then. During its first battle with Yomi, the gun clip was detached and left Kagura without the nessecary strength or power for offense. The "Michael 13" would later be destroyed in a second battle with Yomi, which is why Kensuke received the "Michael 12" instead of the 13.
